It was added by an anonymous user last August, so it's probably
********. West Ruislip-Epping is definitely the longest end-to-end
journey, because no other line goes so far out at both ends. Add on
the Hainault Loop (2/3rds the length of the entire Victoria Line), and
nothing can touch it route mileage wise either.

So it's the longest by any metric.

Perhaps they are thinking that the circle is longer.



Only in the sense that it's infinite ... but otherwise very short.

Aha, I've found a reference (dated 1987)

Circle, Hammersmith and Metropolitan 51 (of which the Circle is
13)

East London 4

District 40

Northern 36

Central 52

Bakerloo 14

Piccadilly 43.5

Victoria 14

Jubilee (only to Charing Cross in those days) 14
